Complete tier list ranking all 8 heroes in Dispatch game based on versatility, stat distribution, and mission success rates. Updated for October 2025 meta after Episodes 1-2.
🎯 Tier List Methodology
Rankings based on: versatility across mission types, stat distribution efficiency, synergy with other heroes, and overall usefulness in Episodes 1-2. This is a PvE tier list focused on optimal mission success rates.
Tier List Overview - Quick Rankings
S-Tier: Best Heroes (Must-Use)
🥇 Coupé - The Best Overall Hero
Balanced stats (7/7/6/9/7) make him viable for 80% of missions. Highest mobility enables solo operations.
🥈 Malevola - The Swiss Army Knife
Most balanced hero (6/6/7/6/6). Never a bad choice. Excels when mission requirements are unclear.
A-Tier: Excellent Heroes (Specialists)
Prism - Best Charisma Hero
Charisma 9 dominates social missions. Strong combat (7) makes her versatile.
Sonar - Best Intellect Hero
Intellect 8 solves puzzles and psychological cases. Transformation ability adds flexibility.
Golem - Best Combat Hero
Combat 9 + Vigor 10 = unkillable tank. Dominates pure combat missions.
B-Tier: Good Heroes (Situational)
Flambae - Solid Combatant
Combat 8 is strong, but causes collateral damage. Use when Golem unavailable.
Invisigal - Niche Specialist
Mobility 10 is best-in-class, but low combat (5) limits versatility. Excels at stealth-only missions.
Detailed Hero Analysis
S-Tier Analysis
🥇 #1: Coupé - The Perfect All-Rounder
Stats: Combat 7 | Intellect 7 | Charisma 6 | Mobility 9 | Vigor 7
Total: 36 points (tied for highest with Malevola)
Why S-Tier:
- Best mobility in game (9): Handles chase missions, rooftop pursuits, and speed-critical scenarios
- Balanced stats: 7 in both Combat and Intellect means he's viable for 80% of mission types
- Solo specialist: High mobility + decent combat makes him ideal for one-hero operations
- Synergy king: Pairs well with Golem (mobility + tank), Prism (speed + charisma), Sonar (mobility + intellect)
- No critical weaknesses: Lowest stat is Charisma 6, which is still adequate for most social situations
🎯 Best Use Cases:
- • Any mission requiring Mobility 7+ (rooftop chases, time-sensitive rescues)
- • Solo operations where you need versatility
- • Multi-hero missions as the "mobility specialist" paired with a tank or support
- • When mission requirements are mixed (e.g., Combat 6 + Mobility 7)
Pro Tip: Coupé is your safest choice when uncertain. His balanced stats mean he rarely fails missions, even if not perfectly optimized.
🥈 #2: Malevola - The Reliable Generalist
Stats: Combat 6 | Intellect 6 | Charisma 7 | Mobility 6 | Vigor 6
Total: 31 points (most balanced distribution)
Why S-Tier:
- Perfect balance: All stats 6-7 means she has no weaknesses
- Never a bad choice: Can handle any mission type adequately, even if not optimally
- Best backup hero: When your S/A-tier specialists are fatigued, Malevola fills in without penalty
- Fatigue insurance: Using Malevola early prevents your specialists from becoming fatigued
- Highest Charisma among balanced heroes: Charisma 7 makes her viable for social missions
🎯 Best Use Cases:
- • Unknown mission requirements (jack-of-all-trades approach)
- • When multiple specialists are fatigued
- • Missions with mixed requirements (e.g., Combat 5 + Intellect 5 + Charisma 5)
- • Early-game when still learning hero strengths
Pro Tip: Malevola is perfect for "fatigue management." Send her on medium-difficulty missions to save your specialists for harder challenges.
A-Tier Analysis
#3: Prism - The Social Powerhouse
Stats: Combat 7 | Intellect 6 | Charisma 9 | Mobility 6 | Vigor 5
Total: 33 points
Why A-Tier:
- Best Charisma in game (9): Irreplaceable for PR crises, negotiations, and crowd control
- Strong combat backup (7): Unlike pure social heroes, Prism can fight when needed
- Story importance: Prism has major character arcs starting Episode 3, making her relationship valuable
- Media darling: Sends Prism = positive public perception boosts
🎯 Best Use Cases:
- • Any mission requiring Charisma 8+ (only hero who qualifies)
- • PR disasters, crowd control, hostage negotiations
- • Missions where public perception matters
#4: Sonar - The Thinking Hero
Stats: Combat 3 | Intellect 8 | Charisma 6 | Mobility 5 | Vigor 4
Total: 26 points (lowest, but specialized)
Why A-Tier Despite Low Stats:
- Best Intellect (8): Essential for puzzles, tech problems, psychological cases
- Transformation ability: Can swap Combat/Vigor with Charisma/Intellect in alternate form (Episodes 3+)
- Unique problem solver: Some missions require Intellect 7+ and only Sonar qualifies
- Adequate Charisma (6): Can handle social situations that don't need Prism-level charm
🎯 Best Use Cases:
- • Intellect 7+ missions (hacking, puzzles, analysis)
- • Psychological cases (Episode 1 missing person mission)
- • Tech-related emergencies
⚠️ Warning: NEVER send Sonar to pure combat missions (Combat 3 = instant failure). Always check mission requirements carefully.
#5: Golem - The Indestructible Tank
Stats: Combat 9 | Intellect 4 | Charisma 4 | Mobility 3 | Vigor 10
Total: 30 points
Why A-Tier:
- Highest Vigor (10): Cannot be injured. Perfect for dangerous combat missions
- Highest Combat (9): Tied with no one - pure fighting dominance
- Zero-risk tank: Send Golem to high-danger missions without fear of fatigue
- Synergy with fast heroes: Coupé + Golem = mobility + muscle combo
🎯 Best Use Cases:
- • Pure combat missions (bank robberies, villain fights)
- • Dangerous missions where injury risk is high
- • Multi-hero missions as the "tank" role
⚠️ Limitation: Low Intellect (4) and Mobility (3) make Golem useless for puzzles, chases, or tech missions. Highly specialized.
B-Tier Analysis
#6: Flambae - The Collateral Damage King
Stats: Combat 8 | Intellect 5 | Charisma 5 | Mobility 7 | Vigor 6
Total: 31 points
Why B-Tier:
- Strong Combat (8): Second-best combatant after Golem
- Good mobility (7): Can handle chase missions
- Fire powers: Unique abilities for fire-related missions
- BUT: Collateral damage issue: Always causes property damage = public perception penalty
🎯 Best Use Cases:
- • Combat missions when Golem is fatigued
- • Fire-specific emergencies (arson, wildfires)
- • Missions where collateral damage doesn't matter
💡 Tip: Flambae is "Golem at home." Use him when your tank is unavailable, but expect property damage reports.
#7: Invisigal - The Stealth Specialist
Stats: Combat 5 | Intellect 7 | Charisma 6 | Mobility 10 | Vigor 5
Total: 33 points
Why B-Tier:
- Best Mobility (10): Tied with no one for pure speed/stealth
- Good Intellect (7): Can handle reconnaissance + analysis missions
- Invisibility powers: Unique stealth advantages
- BUT: Low Combat (5): Cannot handle combat-heavy missions
- Prefers solo: Synergy bonuses are lower when paired
🎯 Best Use Cases:
- • Pure stealth missions (spy operations, infiltration)
- • Reconnaissance missions
- • Mobility 10 requirements (only her and... well, only her)
💡 Note: Invisigal is a "luxury pick." She excels in her niche, but that niche is rare in Episodes 1-2. Becomes more valuable in later episodes.

Tier List FAQ
Why is Coupé #1 over Golem when Golem has better Combat?
Versatility > specialization. Golem dominates combat but fails at everything else (Intellect 4, Mobility 3). Coupé handles 80% of mission types competently. In a tier list measuring overall usefulness, balanced heroes rank higher.
Why is Sonar A-Tier with such low total stats (26)?
Because some missions require Intellect 7+ and Sonar is the ONLY hero who qualifies. Low stat total doesn't matter when you're irreplaceable for 15-20% of missions. His specialization is rare but critical.
Does this tier list change in later episodes?
Yes. This is the Episodes 1-2 meta. Sonar's transformation ability unlocks in Episode 3+, potentially moving him to S-Tier. Invisigal becomes more valuable when stealth missions increase. Check back for updated tier lists as episodes release.
Should I use S-Tier heroes for every mission?
No! Fatigue management is critical. Save Coupé/Malevola for hard missions. Use specialists (Golem for combat, Prism for social) when their strengths are needed. This prevents your best heroes from being fatigued in later episodes.
